Steady state, steam-water testing of a Semiscale Mod-3 system instrumented spool piece was accomplished in the Gesellschaft fur Kernforschung (GfK) facility at Karlsruhe Kernforschungzentrum, West Germany. The testing was undertaken to determine the accuracy of spool piece, two-phase mass flow rate, inferential measurements by comparison with upstream single-phase reference measurements. Other two-phase measurements were also made to aid in understanding the flow conditions and to implement data reduction. A total of 132 single- and two-phase test points were acquired, covering pressures from 0.4 to 7.5 MPa, flow rates from 0.5 to 4.9 kg/s, and two-phase mixture qualities from 1.0 to 83% in the 66.7 mm inside diameter spool piece. The report includes a detailed description of the hardware and software and a tabulation of the data.
